摘要:
A wire electrode for a wire cut electric discharge apparatus for effecting electric discharges in a small gap through a work liquid comprises a core wire (6) and a core wire coating layer (7) formed on the core wire wherein the core wire is formed by a material having higher thermal conductivity than the core wire coating layer (7) which is formed by a material having a high mechanical strength. An outer layer (8) made of a material having good electric discharge properties is coated on the core wire coating layer.
摘要:
A wire electrode discharge machining apparatus comprises a wire electrode (1) adapted for relative movement with respect to a workpiece (12), an upper nozzle (7) disposed above said workpiece and surrounding said electrode, a lower nozzle (8) disposed below said workpiece and surrounding said electrode, a power source for applying a machining voltage between said workpiece and said electrode, a machining liquid (10) delivered under pressure toward said workpiece from said upper and/or lower nozzles, and means for automatically and continuously controlling the width of a gap (g) between said workpiece and outlets of said upper and/or lower nozzles by vertically moving said nozzle outlets in accordance with a predetermined configuration of a groove being machined in said workpiece to facilitate the exhaust of the machining liquid and entrained machining dust from the groove.
